We spent last week in New York, holed up in Times Square as Nicole was summoned on a business trip. As she worked, I spent my days walking the city, and I found myself enjoying some great ethnic food and beer in Hell’s Kitchen (German), the East Village (Middle Eastern), the West Village (Ukrainian & Bengali), and Soho (Belgian), among others. We also swanked it up at Koi (Japanese) off Bryant Park. I probably did things other than eat over the five days we were in the city–but, frankly, I’m drawing a blank about what that might be. Maybe these photos will help…
A refreshing Bitburger pilsener at Hallo Berlin while waiting for meine bratwurst mit sauerkraut und apfelstrudel. Muy excellente!
Nicole must not be disturbed while contemplating ancient art at the Met.
Nicole accidentally punched herself in the face, thrown off by the close quarters and bright lights of Panna II, while at a preemptive birthday celebration for our good friend Kim.
Castle Clinton, down in the Battery, formerly known as Castle Garden Immigration Center, where I believe my great-great-great grandfather, Jacob Blankenfeld, first arrived in America, in the mid-1800s.
